Hey guys!
We’re creeping up on that time of year where people start complaining about how summer is ending. It can suck. True. Summer is definitely my favorite season. But you know what? I was thinking about it yesterday … and I realized there’s a ton of amazing things to look forward to in the next couple of months!
For example:
Flip flops are fabulous. But what about knee high boots? And leather? And tights?! AND SCARVES???? ‘Tis the season (I have like 20 scarves … I’ve missed them).
Also, my (far too frequent) trips to Starbucks are about to change. For the better. I love me some iced coffee all summer long, but you guys, pumpkin spiced lattes are almost here. September 4th, my spies tell me. Try and complain about the temperature cooling down now. I dare you.
I sweat less. I smell less. Everyone is happy.
Ummm, all of the TV shows restart in September and October. Just try and make me grumpy with information like that. Try it. It’s impossible when shows like Grey’s Anatomy/Glee/Survivor/How I Met Your Mother (plus like fifteen more) are on and featuring brand new shows. Sayonara, reruns!
The smell of new school supplies. I like being in stores this time of year just for that.
I like my sleep. Who doesn’t? I also live on the eighth floor of an apartment complex. With no air conditioning. Remember back in school how you learned that heat rises? That’s true, guys. And eight floors up in the summertime is HOT. Once the mercury lowers … guess who is getting back to a regular sleep pattern? This (soon to be well rested) girl.
Thanksgiving (and more specifically, the big ass meal planned for that day). Duh.

What are some of your favorite parts of fall? Let’s beat the “end of summer blues” with a little positivity, shall we? 
Have a fabulous LONG WEEKEND! Oh, lordy. I’m pumped for that extra day off.
I’m a summer girl till the end, and pretty adamant about the fact that it is wayyyy too short of a season. I love my hot weather…
But with that said, fall can also be beautiful. I love looking out of my kitchen window at the huge tree in my front yard and seeing the leaves change into beautiful oranges and reds! And I cannot wait to bust out all of my pumpkin recipes again. Naturally. Oh…and Halloween is pretty fun, too.
haha I love the “I sweat less. I smell less” part. that is so true for me.
Best part of fall for me? apple picking, fall fairs, perfect temps, thanksgiving, etc. Can you tell it’s my fave season?
I have several fall favorites! Pumpkin beer and coffee, foliage and the holiday specials that start airing on tv are some of my absolute favorites!
I’ve never had pumpkin beer … I’m intrigued! Pumpkin coffee is one of my faves though
Oh dude, don’t even get me started. Well I guess you did most of the starting for me, but yes, I agree – I LOVE FALL! It is amazing and I simply am so excited for it. Everything. The atmosphere. The leaves. The holidays. Perfect temperatures, the fashion (which reminds me, I neeed to go shopping, stat), pumpkins, pies… ahhhh
I need to go shopping too! Like I ever need an excuse
I’m looking forward to all my favorite shows starting again too! I’m looking forward to fall- my birthday, Indian Summer in SF (finally good weather!), and waering boots!
I am with you, using my oven is like creating a heat box in an already hot dc apartment. I can’t wait to be able to actually use my oven for more than 15 minutes to make dinner. exciting stuff.
I just want to roast vegetables again. Is that so much to ask?! Haha. Have a great weekend, Alex!
I love fall! My favorites are cooking with pumpkins and apples, the pretty leaves, watching football, and fall fashion.
Gosh, I’m so excited for Fall too! Spring and Fall are my favorite seasons. I cant wait to go shopping for BOOTS! I love doing that.. dont know why but I do!
Have a great weekend as well & God bless!
pumpkin spice lattes at SB’s are like crack. delicious, delicious, crack. i can’t wait.
I am def. one of those people that complains too much about summer’s end. You are right- pumpkin coffee and also anything with apples makes it all that much better! Just as long as it doesn’t get too cold too quickly, I’ll accept you fall.
